Nowadays it's kinda weird to play a kirby game without the ability copy mechanic. But so it forces the game to actually depent even more on good level-design, encounter design and pure platforming. And for a starter of the series it still holds up pretty well and presents a roughly 30 minutes long journey of happy and pure jump 'n' run enjoyment. It even has some replay-value cuz of the extra mode.
This game send me on some kind of a emotional rollercoaster.
There is so much about it, i want to like. The presentation which is really refreshing for a souls-like, the charming humor and many easter-eggs/references and how it even manages to tackle some social and individual problems. The main gimmick about swapping trough different shells with different abilities is neat but kinda falls flat in the long run.
But in contrast to all this good things there were many technical issues i encounteres like weird hit collision, lock-on not working or getting blasted out of or clipping trough boss arenas. And at least in my version (Xbox Series X) i encountered sudden loading zones which made the game freeze for a couple of secs. With a bit more polishing it can be a got starter into the souls-like genre with many difficulty adjustment options.

Became Kratos myself because of some lategame sequenzes.
But otherwise it's still a very competent and focused action-brawler with decent combo-game wich doesnt waste time before it lets you into the action. A good, ramping soundtrack adds to the atmosphere and the plot is a neat start for the bigger picture that is coming in the next 2 titles.
